Margot is dead. There’s a rumor she died because she couldn’t take the pressure of being a pledge. You may not ask what happened to her. It’s not your business. But it wasn’t a suicide, if you’re wondering. Spring Fling will not be cancelled. The deposit is non-refundable. And Margot would have wanted the sisterhood to continue in her absence, if only to protect her sisters’ secrets: Shannon is the thinnest girl in the house, Kyra has slept with 29 boys since she started college, Amanda is a virgin, and while half the sisters are too new to have known Margot, Deirdre remembers her --- she always remembers.
